1.	An element p has atomic number 56. What will be the formula of its halide
Answer» Answer - PX2Element \'P\' with atomic number 56 will lose two electrons to form P^ 2+ ion with 54 electrons corresponding to the stable noble gas electronic configuration.Halogen gains one electron to formX^-1 ion. One P^2+ ion combines with two X^-1 ions to formPX2 .Note: In a neutral molecule, the total charge on cations is numerically equal to the total charge on anions.
